Tipplers ekka M&G

[longtail]

G'day all ,

Well we had a great day today , the kids are buggered and in bed ;). Good to put faces to names :D

Met Brett (murks) at the ramp around 0815 went over and pumped some yabbies then went for a run down to tipplers , here we met Dave (blackened) and pulled up on the beach for a chat. While chatting got a call from Darryl (crestcutter) to tell us he was having some fuel problems ( hope you got it sorted mate ) and he wouldn't be down. Before long Alex (alex9797) and John (shubeej) turned up and we started to discuss our fishing options ;) after lunch we headed down to the pimpama river for a very laid back fish ::) an hour or so down there before the wife called and said the kids were getting restless. Headed then back to tipplers to pick up the family and head in while Alex and John headed for tiger mullet channel to catch up with the other guys.

Great thing about these M&G's is 5 minutes after meeting we are all chatting like we've known each other for years , all the kids got on like a house on fire .

All in all was a great day out boating , looking forward to the next one :D might be time to start organising a offshore trip ;)

took a couple of photos , i think dave took a few aswell


cheers
Jason.

[longtail]

for you Greg ;)

[longtail]

:-X ;D

[Darryl]

Yeah spewin i missed it Jason, same problem that i had at the River to Mud it seems. The pick up in the cruise tank has been working it's way loose and as a result the 175 has been sucking air. Hopefully sorted now. Glad you all had a good day out.

Darryl.

[PinHead]

LOL goodonya Jason...I spent some time at the Prince Charles Hospital visiting the Father in law while you were out enjoying yourself on that water..bugger. He had a heart attack last Sunday morning..now waiting to join the zipper club..triple bypass coming up..I don't envy him.

[longtail]

i hope it all works out for him Greg , your right mate i don't envy him either.

[Dirtysanchez]

Wow, good on you guys, Thanks Murks for the invite, pity I had to work like the other boys, Mind you I was stuffed either way, the little bloke was crook with tonsilitis, so I went into work and did some catching up. Even if he was well I was stuffed coz we had promised to take him to the Ekka

I reckon next ekka he will be old enough to put his hand up for a day out in the boat rather than eating all that crap at the show.

Pardon me for asking :D but did anyone catch any keepers ?

I saw the post and we thought we would turn up, but the new outboard I ordered (115 Etec) turned up this week so the boat is in the shop getting fitted up :) :) :). I will keep an eye out for the next one. I think Slipping Sands would be a good place. We were at Tipplers on Sunday. We turned up at about 1pm thinking we would grab a quick burger and get back to fishing. After dodging the kids on pedal boats and managing to find a park between the jet skis with about 100mm either side of the boat, we waited about 50 minutes for the food >:(. By the time we had eaten, it was time to go home. Not happy Jan. :( :( Next time we will take our own food as usual. It seemed like a good idea on Sunday morning. Is Tipplers always that busy on Sundays? It would have been quicker and more pleasant to take a run up to Jacobs Well

[Got_the_Fever]

Greg I hope your father in law is doing ok. The crew at PCH is the best around and they will look after him. I had my zipper done a few years ago there and there is nothing they wouldnt do to look after me and everyone else in their care.


Kel

ps. Sorry we couldnt make the M&G. I was really looking forward to it. Maybe next time I wont have to go to the dr's and actually be able to spend some time on the water meeting a few of the characters from here.
